For those of you who are following our blog or who follow us on Facebook, you will be happy to know that Kiwi is home! Her family picked her up on Tuesday. She is glad to be home and back to her old self, trying to escape the house every chance she gets!
Kiwi is an indoor cat. However, there have been a few instances when her parents have opened the door to let their dogs out and she has escaped. Her parents do not want her to be an outdoor cat. They understand that there are many dangers lurking outside. And the diseases Kiwi could pick up are not safe for her or for her family. So her parents will continue to do what they can to keep her inside!
Kiwi still has another 2.5 weeks of antibiotic therapy before her treatments are done. Her family is administering her antibiotic each morning and anxiously waiting until she can be tested for feline bartonella again. Unfortunately that won't happen until 6 months after the last day of her antibiotics. But they remain hopeful that she will be disease free.
With her family's dedication to making sure Kiwi visits us regularly, we were able to diagnose and treat what could have been a very serious illness. Keeping Kiwi healthy will help keep Kiwi's family healthy too!
